April 4 - 9, 2007: Easter Weekend and a wonderful visit from our Swedish friends Jeff and Christel. It has been over a year since our last meeting during the winter olympics and the long weekend started with Lisa's "soon to be famous" homemade pizzas and a lot of catching up. Thursday night we hit my favorite local osteria called L'oca Fola which is quickly becoming one of my all time greats! Perfect meal and 4 happy fat people woddling home. Friday we hit La Thuile for some skiing under Mt. Blanc and the sun was blazing! Jeff got fried and I spent several hours in a lounge chair on the French side, sipping cold beers and sun bathing next too several topless ladies (honestly!) Next stop was Sauze D'Oulx and a fresh pasta and wine at the apartment with some card games to close the day. As we strolled around the village on Saturday, we discovered a new spa and whammo... we decided to take the afternoon to treat ourselves to a "me" day. Now, some of you may have noticed from these updates that we have been hitting the spa more often that usual (3 out of the last 5 weekends to be exact) but to that I say.... jealousy will get you nowhere! A couple more dinners and the weekend finished up perfect and relaxing. Life is tough!
